Compatible Wheel Sizes
The Powell Peralta SSF Snakes 66mm 75A White wheels are designed for 8.6" to 9.0" decks with trucks like Independent 159 (8.75" axle width). For alternative wheels with similar performance, consider the following sizes from Powell Peralta and Orangatang:
Powell Peralta:
- Snakes 69mm 75A (Green): Larger for smoother rolls, with the same SSF formula for freeriding on 8.6" to 9.0" decks.
- Primo 69mm 75A (Red): Similar SSF urethane, offering comparable slide and grip performance.
Orangatang:
- In Heat 70mm 77A (Orange): Slightly firmer for faster slides on 8.6" to 9.0" decks.
- Beefcake 73mm 80A (Orange): Softer and larger for smoother slides on similar setups.
General Guideline: For 8.6" to 9.0" decks with Independent 159 trucks, 66-73mm wheels with 75A to 80A durometers are optimal. The 66mm 75A Snakes excel in technical slides for freeriding, while 77A or 80A wheels offer faster slides. Use risers with wheels over 66mm to avoid wheelbite.
Deck and Truck Compatibility
The Powell Peralta SSF Snakes 66mm 75A White wheels are optimized for decks 8.6" to 9.0" and pair well with:
- Independent Trucks 159 (8.75" axle): Ideal match for 8.6" to 9.0" decks, balancing stability and turning.
- Venture Trucks 6.1 (8.75" axle): Provides similar stability for freeride and street setups.
- Independent 149 (8.5" axle): Narrower for agile setups on ~8.6" decks, may require risers to prevent wheelbite.
General Guideline: Use 1/8" risers with 66mm wheels on 8.6" to 9.0" decks if wheelbite is a concern, especially with 75A wheels. Quality bearings (e.g., Bones Reds) enhance roll speed for freeriding and cruising. Avoid rough sidewalks, as the 75A SSF may wear on abrasive surfaces.
